Problems solved by technology

But then, since the temperature inside the facility becomes too high except in winter, it is necessary for the temperature to be controlled by opening and closing portions of the roof and outer wall of the facility.
Currently, however, film- or board-like materials are rarely provided in which such a property has been considered.
However, the coloring matter and copper proposed in the above-cited publications are so poor in weather resistance that they are liable to degrade on account of ultraviolet rays, heat or the like.
In the case where a resin after being incorporated with the coloring matter or copper is used as a heat shielding material, the resin poses the disadvantage that its heat shielding effect becomes prematurely degraded upon long-term outdoor exposure.
The use of the coloring matter is also defective in that bleeding tends to occur and leads to whitening on the resin surface, resulting in sharp lowering of light transmittance.
Consequently, a resin film and the like containing the coloring matter or copper ions are difficult to use, over a long period of time, especially as materials for an agricultural and horticultural facility.

example 1

[0047] 20 Parts by weight of LaB6 microparticles (specific surface area: 30 m2 / g), 75 parts by weight of toluene, and 5 parts by weight of a dispersing agent were mixed, followed by dispersion treatment of the mixture, thereby preparing a dispersion A with a dispersed particle diameter of 80 nm on average. Solvent components were relieved from this dispersion A at 50° C. with a vacuum dryer, and dispersion-treated LaB6 was taken as a particle A. The dispersed particle diameter on average was determined by measurement with a measuring apparatus designed to use a dynamic light scattering technique (manufactured by Ohtsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.: ELS-800) and then by averaging the measurements.

[0048] 0.01 Kg of this particle A of LaB6, and 8.7 kg of an ETFE (tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer) resin were dry-mixed in a V-blender. Then, internal mixing was thoroughly effected at 320° C., i.e., in the neighborhood of the melting temperature of the ETFE resin, followed by extrusion mo...

example 2

[0052] 0.005 Kg of the particle A of LaB6 according to Example 1, and 8.7 kg of an ETFE resin were dry-mixed in a V-blender. Then, as in Example 1, internal mixing was thoroughly effected at 320° C., i.e., in the neighborhood of the melting temperature of the ETFE resin, followed by extrusion molding of the mixture at 320° C., thereby forming a film having a thickness of about 50 μm. The content of LaB6 microparticles in this film is equal to 0.05 g / m2.

[0053] The film-like heat shielding material thus obtained was evaluated as in Example 1. The material reveals a visible light transmission of 80% and a solar radiation transmittance of 65%. It has now been found that the material can sufficiently transmit the light in a visible light region, and concurrently, can screen 35% of direct incident light from sunrays, thus achieving a high level of heat shielding effect. The transmittances in an ultraviolet region are 34% at a wavelength of 290 nm and 43% at a wavelength of 320 nm, and th...

example 3

[0054] As in Example 2 except that a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin was used in place of the ETFE resin, and the heating temperature was set at a temperature (about 300° C.) at which the PET resin softened thoroughly, a film was formed by the same method as used in Example 2. The content of LaB6 microparticles in this film is equal to 0.05 g / m2 as is the case with Example 2.

[0055] The film-like heat shielding material thus obtained was evaluated as in Example 1. The material reveals a visible light transmission of 79% and a solar radiation transmittance of 65%. It has now been found that the material can sufficiently transmit the light in a visible light region, and concurrently, can screen 35% of direct incident light from sunrays, thus achieving a high level of heat shielding effect. In addition, the transmittances in an ultraviolet region are 0% at a wavelength of 290 nm and 35% at a wavelength of 320 nm. The transmittance of 0% read at 290 nm is attributable to the cons...

Abstract

A heat shielding material for use in an agricultural and horticultural facility according to the present invention includes a heat shielding layer containing a base resin, and a heat shielding filler in the form of microparticles dispersed in the base resin, wherein the heat shielding filler is at least one selected from lanthanum hexaboride and antimony-doped tin oxide. This heat shielding material for use in an agricultural and horticultural facility has a solar radiation transmittance of 10 to 80%, this transmittance being taken as a reference index for evaluating the level of a heat shielding property, a visible light transmittance of 30 to 90%, and a light transmittance of 5 to 80% at a 320 nm wavelength and a light transmittance of 0 to 70% at a 290 nm wavelength, respectively, in an ultraviolet region.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to materials in the form of a film or a board for use as roofing materials, outer wall materials and so on in agricultural and horticultural houses. More particularly, the invention relates to a heat shielding material adapted for as an agricultural and horticultural facility and having a heat shielding effect. BACKGROUND ART [0002] In conventional practice, resin films and resin plates have been used as materials for roofs, outer walls, etc., in agricultural and horticultural facilities including houses. Resins used for this purpose are typified by vinyl chloride resin, polyethylene resin, polyester resin, fluorine resin, etc. Recently, fluorine resin has enjoyed a good reputation for its excellent weather resistance, light transmittance in an ultraviolet region, etc. [0003] Most of the materials used as a roofing material, an outer wall material, etc., in an agricultural and horticultural facility are designed to keep the facili...
